a quorum of them, shall supply the vacancy. It shall also be lawful for
the President (or in case of his death, resignation, or refusal to act), the
professors and masters for the time being, or a majority of them, to call a
meeting of the Trustees, when he or they, as the case may be shall deem
it expedient.

to the court of said county, there to be recorded: That is to say, "I (A. B.)
do swear (or affirm, as the case may be) that I will, to the best of my skill
and judgment discharge the duties required of me as a Trustee (or Presi-
dent) of Randolph-Macon College, according to the act of incorporation,
without partiality, favor or affection: So help me God!"
10. And be it further enacted, That whenever any Trustee shall absent
himself from three consecutive meetings of the Board of Trustees, having
been duly notified of such meeting, without assigning a sufficient reason, at
the fourth, the Trustees of said College, or a quorum of them, shall have
power by entry on their minutes, to declare his seat vacant, and proceed to
the election of a new Trustee to supply such vacancy.
11. And be it further enacted, That the said Trustees and their succes-
sors are hereby authorized, so far as their funds may warrant, to admit
gratuitously, in whole or in part, as their respective cases may require,
such person or persons as they may think proper.
12. And be it further enacted, That the Trustees of said College shall
have power to establish a department of agriculture in said College: Pro-
vided, nevertheless, that no pupil or student in the College aforesaid shall
be required to study or labor in said department in any manner contrary
to the wishes of the person or persons at whose charge, and by whom such
student or pupil has been placed in the institution aforesaid.
13. And be it further enacted, That there shall be annual stated meetings
of the said Board of Trustees, to be held at such time as the said Trustees
shall at their first meetings under the authority of this act appoint; but
they shall have power at any subsequent meeting to alter such day as to
them may seem expedient, and so on from time to time. It shall be the duty
of the said Board of Trustees to make an annual report of the general
condition of the College to the President and Directors of the Literary
Fund, to be by them communicated to the General Assembly.
14. And be it further enacted That the said Board of Trustees shall never
be less than twenty-four nor more than forty in number.
15. And be it further enacted, That nothing herein contained shall be so
construed as at any time to authorize the establishment of a theological

Mecklenburg, to Ashland, in the county of Hanover, did, in September,
eighteen hundred and sixty-eight, change said site to Ashland, at which
place the operations of the College have since been and are now successfully
conducted; and whereas, it is important that all doubts respecting the
validity of said action should be quieted: therefore,

to incorporate the Trustees of Randolph-Macon College, passed February
third, eighteen hundred and thirty, be amended and re-enacted so as to read

masters, and students of said Colege, schools, academies or other institu-
tions, established by them under the authority of this act."
This act shall be in force from its passage.
This charter by the General Assembly is a matter of special
interest, in showing Randolph-Macon to be now the oldest Metho-
dist College in America, by date of incorporation.
The movement to establish the College was begun in response
to the recommendation of the General Conference of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, in 1824, which was "that each Annual
Conference establish a seminary of learning under its own regu-
lations and patronage." The Virginia Conference, at its session
in the following year, considered the question of "establishing
such a seminary." The chief promoters of the undertaking — the
"founders" of Randolph-Macon — were the Rev. Hezekiah G. Leigh,
of the Virginia Conference, and Gabriel P. Disosway, a wise and
liberal layman, both of them, at that time, residing in the city of
Petersburg.
In April, 1830, the Board of Trustees was formally organized.
The Rev. John Early was the first chairman ; the Rev. William A.
Smith the first secretary.
The erection of a suitable building was authorized, and the work
begun as soon as practicable. The site was near the village of
Boydton, Mecklenburg county, Va. This situation, near the line
of Virginia and North Carolina, was chosen with the view to the
accommodation of both the chief patronizing States — Virginia and
North Carolina.
Randolph-Macon began its scholastic work in January, 1832,
when Hugh A. Garland, brother to Dr. Landon C. Garland, taught
24 Kandolph-Macon College.
the first class in the preparatory department. The College proper
began its work the next October, with the Eev. Martin P. Parks
as President pro tempore. The Eev. John Emory, afterwards
Bishop, was the first president elect. The Eev. Stephen Olin was
the first to accept and serve.
The first graduate was John C. Blackwell, of Virginia, whose
diploma was conferred in June, 1835. The first class taking the
whole four years' course received their degrees the next year.
From that time continuously, with the exception of several years
during and immediately after the war, classes have been graduated.
For many years the career of the College was a struggle for
existence; but during these years of stress and trial, without
endowment, it did a great and useful work. Many of the foremost
men of Methodism were connected with it; and from its body of
students went out men of renown in Church and State, not a few
whose lives have proved a signal blessing to the world.
The first regular endowment fund was raised, just before the
war between the States, by President William A. Smith and the
Eev. H. B. Cowles. But the war closed the doors of the College
and rendered the most of its endowment worthless.
in 1866 it was reopened under serious embarrassment. Eail-
ways had been destroyed by the war; the nearest was now a day's
journey from the College. Besides, the North Carolina Conference
had established a college of its own, whose patronizing territory
was almost in sight of Eandolph-Maeon. On the other hand, the
Baltimore Conference, at its session in March, 1867, had offered
its patronage to the College, and had been admitted into participa-
tion in its supervision and privileges. Under these circumstances
the removal of the institution to a more suitable locality became
necessary.
Happily, the ideal leader in this hazardous new departure was
secured in the person of the Eev. James A. Duncan, D. D., an
aluninus of the class of 1849, and one of the most highly gifted
men of hifl day. Under his presidency, the College began its
career al Ashland, Va., its presenl Bite, September, L868, and very
booh it reached a heighl oi prosperity and influence to which ii.
bad never before attained. In its service the president laid down
hi- life, universally loved and honored.
The successor of Dr. Duncan was the Rev. VV. \V. Bennett, D.D.,
Randolph-Macon College. 25
an able and faithful worker. In the year 1886, Dr. Bennett, in
broken health, resigned, and in the same year Dr. William W.
Smith was elected president.
Under Dr. Smith's administration the endowment was largely
increased; four new buildings were erected, including a new gym-
nasium; physical culture was made a part of the course, and the
library and the laboratories were greatly enlarged and improved.
But the most notable feature of this administration was the
founding of the academies at Bedford City and Front Eoyal, and
the Eandolph-Macon Woman's College at Lynchburg.
All these institutions, together with the parent College and the
Danville Institute for young ladies, are now under one Board of
Trustees, and are united in a single educational system.
In the year 1896, Dr. Smith was made Chancellor of the Ean-
dolph-Macon System of Colleges and Academies, and Dr. J. A.
Kern was elected President of the College.
President Kern resigned in 1899, and Eev. W. G. Starr, A. M.,
D. D., was elected President, but resigned in 1902, and E. E.
Blackwell, A. M., LL. D., was elected as his successor.

Announcements
General Information
Location
Ashland is immediately on the Kichmond, Fredericksburg and
Potomac Kailroad, and the Eichmond and Chesapeake Bay Electric
Railroad, sixteen miles north of Eichmond, npon the most elevated
plateau between that city and Fredericksburg, Va. The location
is distinguished for healthfulness and accessibility. On this account
the village of Ashland was originally incorporated as a summer
resort, and is much frequented during the heated term, while the
comparative infrequency, and the brief duration of severely cold
weather make it especially favorable to health and comfort during
the College session. The severe pneumonia and violent fevers of
the mountains and the malarial diseases of the Tidewater regions
are comparatively unknown. There are no saloons in the town
or the county.
Nine passenger trains each way stop at the College daily, and
hourly trips are made by the electric cars. Telegraphic and long-
distance telephone connections are had with all parts of the
country. Mail six times a day.
Grounds and Buildings
The campus contains about twelve acres, beautified and shaded
by a fine grove of oaks and maples. It has been thoroughly under-
drained; gravel walks have been laid out, and many other Improve-
ments conducive to the comfori and convenience of the students
have been made
The buildings, besides professors' residences, are five cottage
dormitories, Branch Memorial Dormitory, the Pace Lecture-Room
Building and Chemical Laboratory, the Duncan Memorial Chapel,
the Library and Hall- of the Literary Societies, the Gymnasium,
Randolph-Macon College. 27
and the Pettyjohn Hall of Science for lecture-rooms and labora-
tories for practical work in Physics and Biology.
We publish a handsome Illustrated Booklet containing over
fifty views of the grounds and buildings, which we will be glad
to mail to any one upon request.
The Observatory contains a five-inch equatorial refracting tele-
scope, transit instrument, sextant, etc.
Libraries
Libraries consist (1) of one main collection of books on general
subjects, hardly second to any in Virginia, after those of the State
Library in Richmond and of the University. Probably the most
useful department of the central library is the large collection of
bound magazines, dating back, in some instances, to 1830. These
magazine files are well bound and readily accessible, owing to card
catalogue recently installed. The general reading room of the
College is in the main library rooms, and it carries on its tables a
comprehensive list of American and English periodicals.
(1) Of special memorial collections, such as the Darden English,
Walton Classical, and Bennett Historical Libraries, which are, like
the main library, open daily to all students. These collections
are added to from year to year out of the funds accruing from
endowments given respectively by George E. M. Walton, Esq., of
Hanover county, Va., in memory of his son; A. S. Darden, Esq.,
of Norfolk, Va., in memory of his son; and James Cannon, D. D.,
of Blackstone, Va,, in honor of his father-in-law, Dr. W. W. Ben-
nett, for a long time President of the College.
(3) Of department libraries intended for use under the imme-
diate direction of the various professors. The most important of
these are the Chemical, Biological and Historical collections. A
large collection of Government documents, including the Congres-
sional Debates, is kept in a special room adjoining the History
lecture room. These may be consulted freely under the guidance
of the professor of that department.
The main library is open every day, except Sunday, from 9 :30
A. M. to 6 :30 P. M.
Literary Societies
The Washington and Franklin Literary Societies, meeting
weekly in their large and elegantly furnished halls for literary
28 Eandolph-Macon College.
and oratorical exercises, are admirably conducted and enthusias-
tically sustained. They afford to every member an opportunity
to acquaint himself practically with the methods of procedure in
public assemblies, and with the duties of presiding and recording
officers, and give invaluable practice in declamation and debate
under the stimulus of a generous emulation for the rewards offered
by them for excellence or for progress. They also edit and publish
the "Kandolph-Macon Monthly/' a literary Magazine, and issue
each session the "Yellow Jacket," a handsomely bound and illus-
trated College Annual. A student who fails to identify himself
with one or the other of these Societies loses an unusual oppor-
tunity to secure for himself privileges of great value.
Religious Opportunities
The daily work of the College is begun with religious exercises
in the Chapel.
The Methodist, Episcopal, Presbyterian, Christian and Baptist
Churches of the village hold each two public services on the Sab-
bath, and at least one during the week, and the students provide
frequent special religious meetings for their own benefit.
Bible classes conducted in the College Chapel on Sabbath morn-
ings, offer opportunity for Bible study under the instruction of the
professors and officers of the College and other selected teachers,
in addition to the course in the English Bible offered as regular
College work. Several preaching appointments in the neighbor-
hood are regularly filled by ministerial students.
Young Men's Christian Association. — This organization in the
College offers many advantages to its members. It unites young
men of different denominational preferences in bonds of mutual
sympathy and fellowship, and gives Christian students, while away
from their home-churches, helpful privileges and duties as members
of a world-wide religious organization. Under its auspices, varied
and interesting religious exercises are held in the dormitories and
in its nun beautifully furnished room on the campus, and seven
Sunday-schools are sustained in the neighborhood.
Government
Every studenl entering the College is presumed to be a gentle-
man, and bo Long as be remaina connected with it, is treated as
Randolph-Macon College. 29
such. In particular, his word is relied upon implicitly, and, in all
matters touching his own conduct, is called for and accepted as
the basis of action. This confidence in the integrity of our students
lies at the foundation of our intercourse with them, and when any
student forfeits it, he must be immediately excluded from the
College. The one broad rule of Randolph-Macon is that all are
required to conduct themselves in a moral, gentlemanly and stu-
dent-like manner. In denning these terms, such special regula-
tions and admonitions will be given as circumstances may call for.
All that concerns the physical, mental and moral well-being of
our students enlists our affectionate solicitude. We stand to them
as friends, counsellors and guides, and, while exercising our author-
ity with freedom and firmness, shall expect their obedience to be
based rather upon a sense of right and an appreciation of the
necessity of system and order, than upon the fear of set penalties.
When a young man cannot be influenced by appeals to these
motives, we do not consider him prepared for college.
No student found to be dissipated or persistently idle can be
retained. We shall seek earnestly to reform any such, but our
duty to others under our care will not allow the efforts to be long
continued. No pains shall be spared to maintain a pure and
wholesome moral atmosphere; and whenever, for any reason, we
are satisfied that the presence of any student is corrupting others,
or that his influence is felt for evil in the College, we shall refund
the proportionate part of the fees paid and require his withdrawal.
Class Organization
After an experience of many years, during which both methods
have been tested, we deem a well-guarded elective system prefer-
able, under existing circumstances, to the curriculum. It affords
an advanced student, having special aims, the privilege of pur-
suing a desired course, and it enables the Faculty to assign suitable
work to those who are without uniform preparation, or who cannot
remain long enough to complete the full course required for a
degree.
Instruction is given by text-books and lectures. The effort is
made to secure thorough scholarship, and students are retained in
lower, or returned from higher to lower classes, until the professor
considers them qualified to advance.
30 Eandolph-Macon College.
As each undergraduate course is satisfactorily completed, a cer-
tificate therefor is issued to the student. When the work prescribed
in the entire course of instruction in any subject is satisfactorily
completed by an approved examination, the student is awarded a
Certificate of Proficiency in that subject.
Choice of Studies
Students will be enrolled in appropriate classes after conference
with the President and the Professors. Each one is required to
have no fewer than fifteen recitations a week, unless there are
special reasons to the contrary, and no study can be changed or
discontinued without the consent of the Faculty.

The degrees conferred are Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts.
The attainments required to secure these degrees are as follows :

Kandolph-Macon College. 41
study in Greek are provided for in consequence of the common
neglect of this subject in preparatory schools, but these courses
are counted only in making up the entrance requirements.
The courses of reading, in which there is steady effort to express
adequately the thought of the Greek author in clear, idiomatic
English, begin at the close of the classical period and follow the
stream of Greek literature back to its sources. Much importance
is attached to syntactical study, which begins with the grammar,
but is made real to the student by constant illustration from the
authors read. The basis of this study is Attic prose; with this
standard the usage of authors read in other periods and depart-
ments is constantly compared, and the results are fixed in the
student's mind by weekly exercises in prose composition. In addi-
tion, there are outline studies of Greek history, mythology and
literature, and the student enlarges his acquaintance with the
Greek classics by extensive reading in English translations.
Sight translation may be given on examination.

for it.
II. Applied Mathematics
While the College does not aim to give students a technical
education, yet facilities are afforded by which a knowledge of
Borne of the more useful applications of mathematical principles
may be acquired. This is done by a separate year's work in
Applied Mathematics. The subjects studied are the following:
1. Land Subteying.- — Computation and plotting of areas;
division of areas. Field practice is gives with the compass and
the theodolite.
Plane Bw v eying,

2. Descriptive Geometry. — Problems of the point, the line
and the plane; surfaces — single curved and double curved; inter-
sections, tangencies, shades and shadows, perspective, isometric
projections.
Text-Book. — Church's Descriptive Geometry.
Chemistry
Professor Canter.
The work in the Chemical Department is embraced in three
courses of one academic year each. The work comprises courses
in general inorganic chemistry, blow-pipe analysis, qualitative
analysis by the wet method, quantitative analysis, gravimetric and
volumetric, and preparation of organic compounds.
Note. — Beginning with the session of 1908-9, one year of
work in science will be required for admission to the A. B. course
in chemistry.
The work of the first year is required for the A. B. degree.
For those who desire a certain amount of chemical knowledge as
a part of a general education, the course is especially intended;
and it forms at the same time the necessary foundation for the
further study of chemistry. The descriptive study of the elements
and their compounds, following the periodic classification of Men-
deleeff, will be the subject matter for lectures and recitations dur-
ing most of the year. Constant practice will be had in the inter-
pretation and use of chemical symbols, formulae and equations.
A text-book will be used, and the most important principles met
with will be enlarged upon. Each student will work at least four
hours per week in the laboratory.
From April till June, a series of lectures is delivered on some
of the compounds of carbon, and a very brief survey is made of
early chemical history.
The class meets for recitation four hours per week at 12 :35.
The laboratory work consists of (1) General Inorganic Experi-
ments. Each student performs two hundred and fifty experiments,
50 Kandolph-Macon College.
illustrating the text and lectures, and writes a full account of his
work: (2) A course in Blow-pipe Analysis, determining metals in
unknown specimens.
The laboratory work is done on Wednesday and Friday from
9:15 — 10:55 and from 2:25 — 4:15. A laboratory fee of five dol-
lars per term is charged.
Text-Books. — Remsen's College Chemistry, 1901 ; Laboratory Manual to
be selected; Renouff's Inorganic Preparations; Qualitative Analysis by
Blowpipe — Martin.
Second Year
For admission to this course the student must have completed
in a satisfactory manner Course I. The second year's course is
elective for the A. M. degree.
A detailed study of organic chemistry will constitute the class-
work for the greater part of the year. The subject will be treated
by lectures, and text-book will also be used. Lectures on the
principles of Physical Chemistry will be given. Parallel work in
chemical history will be assigned.
In the laboratory, at least six hours per week will be required
of each student, and for some a longer time may be necessary to
complete the work. A laboratory fee of five dollars per term is
charged. Class meets Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 8 :15.
Laboratory, Wednesday and Friday, 8 :15 — 12 :35.
The laboratory work is classed under three heads:
I. Qualitative Analysis. — The more important analytical
reactions will be thoroughly studied, and the student will analyze
Bubstances by groups — both acids and bases. Complete analysis
of numerous complex mixtures of acids and bases will be made,
and ;i practical knowledge of analytical operations will be acquired.
II. Quantitative Analysis. — At the beginning, the work will
\><- complete gravimetric determinations of acidic and basic radicals
in pure substances. This will be followed by volumetric analysis,
including alkalimetry, iodometry and oxidation methods. When
skill in manipulation has been acquired, the student will be
tied more difficult work— analysis of fertilizers, ores, waters.
Kandolph-Macon College. 51
III. Organic Preparations. — The preparation of a number
of organic compounds, illustrating some of the more important
reactions in organic chemistry, completes the practical work of the
year.
Text- Books. — Remsen's Organic Chemistry; Levy's Organic Prepara-
tions. Books on Qualitative and on Quantitative Analysis to be selected.
Third Year
For those who expect to make a special study of chemistry,
either as original investigators or as teachers of chemistry, and
for those who wish to become analysts in applied chemistry, this
course is offered. Courses I and II in Chemistry, or the equiva-
lent of both, and a reading knowledge of French and German, will
be required for entrance. An extended course of reading in His-
torical Chemistry, Pure and Applied Chemistry and Journal
Literature will accompany the laboratory work. The latter will
consist of special quantitative methods, the testing of new methods
in analysis, the preparation of advanced organic compounds and
investigations in pure chemistry.
The work will be varied to suit the needs and intentions of the
student.
The chemical laboratories are large, well ventilated, and well
lighted rooms, supplied with modern conveniences for expeditious
and accurate work. Students who take the various courses in
Chemistry are given credit for the work done by Medical Schools
and Engineering Schools.
A well chosen library and current numbers of several foreign
and domestic chemical journals are available for reference.
Geology
Professor Canter.
The course in Geology and Minerology includes oral instruc-
tion and recitations, two hours per week, during the entire year.
The work done is intended to give the student a fair knowledge
of geological phenomena, and to acquaint him with many of the
commonly occurring minerals. The discussion of the causes and
52 Randolph-Macon College.
processes of change now in operation on the earth to produce
structure, is first taken up. The origin and mode of occurrence
of the materials, which make up the earth's crust is then studied.
Specimens of the common rocks and minerals are used for illus-
trative purposes, and the student will be encouraged to collect and
classify rock specimens. A brief outline of the principal histori-
cal features of the changes through which the earth has passed, as
recorded in the successive rocks, will conclude the geological
study. A suitable amount of laboratory work during the second
term will be required in Mineralogy, and at least four months'
work in inorganic chemistry must have been completed. Crystall-
ography will be illustrated by models and natural crystals. The
student will be familiarized with blow-pipe methods and other
chemical tests for determining minerals; and such knowledge will
be used in determining unnamed specimens. The museum
attached to the laboratory contains an excellent collection of geolog-
ical specimens, and of minerals, including all but the rarer
specimens.
Additions have recently been made in the line of supplies of
the more common specimens, and these will be used for analysis.
Text-Books. — The subject will be treated in 1908-1909 by lectures and
by text-books, and parallel reading will be assigned.
Physics
Professor Messick.
This course deals with the elementary facts and principles of
Physics. The subjects treated are mechanics of solids, liquids, and
, beat, magnetism, electricity, sound and light, with a brief out-
line of the recenl developments and applications. The lectures
and recitations are supplemented by numerous demonstrations
before the clast by the instructor, and a course in laboratory work.
A knowledge of Mathematics I is required for this course.
Three lectures or recital ions and four hours' Laboratory work a
the year. Laboratory fee, $5.00 per term.
Randolph-Macon College. 53
Astronomy
Professor Messick.
This course is a general one, and is treated in as practical and
as popular a manner as possible. In Descriptive Astronomy,
one of Young's texts is used as the basis. The uses of the sextant,
transit instrument, reflecting telescope, and refracting telescope
are explained and applied. Frequent meetings are held for obser-
vation. All the principal constellations and brighter stars are
pointed out, and all the prominent and characteristic bodies are
viewed with the telescope. The course is open to those who have
completed Mathematics I.
Two hours a week class work through the year.
Biology
Professor Embody.
The chief additions to the laboratory have been museum speci-
mens, reference books and current volumes of the following
journals :

Preliminary Medical Course
Randolph-Macon College is in no sense a technical school.
Many young men, however, are looking forward to the study of
medicine after the completion of their regular A. B. course. To
these young men it will be most advantageous to incorporate into
their studies all the courses in Chemistry, Biology and Physics.
These studies form the basis of modern medicine. Such a young
man will then secure not only the mental development due to
systematic collegiate work, but, in addition, will have laid a firm
foundation for his professional course.

The Branch Historical Papers are published annually under the aus-
pices of the Vaughan Department of History. They include the
best of the prize studies submitted in the contest for the Ben-
nett History Medal. They also include such documentary ma-
terial bearing on the characters studied, as seems to merit pub-
lication.
The Bennett History Medal is awarded to the author of the best
paper submitted by any student of Randolph-Macon on some
subject in Virginia history. Papers to be submitted, on or before
May 10th of each year, to the professor of History. The right
to withhold the medal is reserved, when papers do not reach
a fairly high standard of excellence. Condition for entering
upon the contest is the satisfactory completion of History 2.
The History and Political Science Library is open to students
engaged on debates for annual celebrations of the Literary
Societies; to those who represent the college in intercollegiate
discussions, and to members of the Current Events class. The
room in which this library is housed was fitted out by Mr.
I'. V. I). Conway, who has also contributed to the room a new
and up-to-date encyclopedia.
The I. \. Vaughan History Library is an adjunct to the depart-
ment of history and political science. II is a collection of books

of instruction The founder, Mrs. I. N. Vaughan, adds to it
annually.
Randolph-Macon College. 57
Moral Philosophy
Professor Bennett.
This course of instruction is divided into two parts, of one
year each, with subjects and recitations as follows :
First Year
1. Psychology. — The two-fold nature of man, psychical and
physical, and the intimate relation of each to the other is discussed.
The attainments of physiological psychology are passed under
review, attention being especially devoted, however, to the discus-
sion of the mind and its activities as revealed in consciousness.
Lectures are delivered upon the text as occasion demands. Four
recitations a week for twelve weeks.
Text-Book. — Murray's Psychology.
2. Logic. — This study includes inductive and deductive logic
from the modern standpoint of the development of thought.
Familiarity with the principles of the science and with the laws of
the syllogism is insured as far as practicable by frequent reviews
and by special work assigned to the student from week to week,
original examples of true and false reasoning being scrutinized.
Four recitations a week for seven weeks.
Text-Book. — Creighton's Logic.
Reference Book. — Davis' Theory of Thought.
3. Ethics. — While discussion of purely speculative questions
is not widely entered upon, the principles of the science are investi-
gated, and the emphasis is placed upon a clear and comprehensive
system of morals, which will prove of practical service to the
student in life. Four recitations a week.
Text-Book. — Elements of Ethics (Davis).
Second Year
1. History of Philosophy. — Beginning with the Greek school
of thought and reviewing the systems down to the present day,
the different periods of thought are marked off, and their inter-
58 Randolph-Macon College.
dependence and relative value in the construction of systems are
carefully indicated. Three recitations a week.
Text-Book. — Roger's History of Philosophy.
?. Metaphysics. — Sufficient answer to the Positivist and
Materialistic systems of present-day thought is found in this queen
of the sciences. Dealing with primary and generic causes rather
than secondary ones, this science gives the underlying foundation
to all other sciences, and holds the key to their laws. No factor
in the ultimate determination of truth is so essential as the study
of the problems of reality. As thorough an investigation is given
of ontological and phenomenal reality and of the higher problems
of speculative philosophy as the limited time allotted to their
study will permit. Three recitations a week.
Text-Book. — Bowne's Metaphysics.
3. Theism. — God is a fact of philosophy as well as of theology,
and a knowledge of the arguments upon which his existence is
predicated is not only essential to a complete educational course,
but is helpful in the search for truth in the struggle of life.
Hence the study of theism is incorporated into the course and
receives careful and thoughtful consideration. Three recitations
a week.
Text-Book. — Flint's Theism.
The English Bible
Professor Bennett.
This department has been established with special reference to
the needs of students, who, from any cause, are unable to avail
selves of a larger and more thorough equipment for the
Christian ministry. At present, there are two courses of study, as
follows :
First Year
1. BlBLE BISTORT. — Three recitations a week.
I In Bible J Stanley's History of the Jewish Church;
llnill.Mi Bible Atlas; Cowan'a Landmarks of Church History; Stalker's
M i Hi .i.iNd. Schaafi Through Bible Lands; Stalker's Life of
Paul
Kandolph-Macon College. 59
2. Bible Introduction.
Text-Books. — Robertson's Old Testament and Its Contents; McCly-
mont's The New Testament and Its Writers.
Parallel Reading. — Bernard's Progress of Doctrine in the New Testa-
ment.
Second Year
1. Doctrinal Theology.
Text-Book. — Bank's Manual of Christian Doctrine as a Basis for Lec-
tures.
2. HOMILETICS AND PRACTICAL THEOLOGY.
Text-Book. — The Ministry to the Congregation (Kern) and Lectures.
Parallel Reading. — Sermons by Distinguished Divines as Appointed.
Especial emphasis is laid, throughout the entire course, upon
the importance of a thorough knowledge of the Bible and its
history. Eeadiness and accuracy in exegesis are fostered by con-
stant practice during the second year in analysis and the discussion
of texts.
Graduation in this department will be allowed only to students
who have passed a satisfactory examination upon the studies em-
braced in the first year course of the School of English.
Physical Culture
Director Warren.
In adding this department to the College, the Trustees had in
view two well-established facts:
First. That to maintain the best results in intellectual work,
the student must have a healthy, vigorous frame, in order to stand
the heavy drain made upon his system by constant mental appli-
cation.
Second. That the period between sixteen and twenty-six years
of age furnishes the best opportunity for overcoming hereditary
defects, for filling out undeveloped parts of the body, and for
building up for the work of life a sound constitution.
To accomplish the first end, students, on entering this depart-
ment, are divided into classes that meet three times weekly. The
60 Kandolph-Macon College.
instructor sees that they exercise regularly and sufficiently, and
yet do not go beyond their strength. The apparatus used for
these classes are dumb-bells, clubs, wands, ladders, vaulting-horses
and chest-weights.
The second object is more especially the scientific aim of this
department. Each student on entrance, is measured by the director,
and his strength tested in every way by instruments specially
made for this purpose. These measurements, compared with the
standards taken according to height, show him where he is physi-
cally most deficient.
To secure a degree, a student must attain an average mark of
eighty on the work covering a session of his college course.
Athletics
Believing that Athletics, when properly conducted, are of great
benefit to students engaged in them, encouragement is given to
this side of College life. Football, baseball, basketball, lacrosse,
tennis and track teams, have opportunity for practice on the excel-
lent athletic grounds of the College; and, under proper restric-
tions, the teams are allowed to participate in intercollegiate con-
tests both on our own field and elsewhere. To engage in any
intercollegiate contest a student is required to maintain satisfac-
tory weekly average standing on all his studies.
Leave of absence for the purpose of playing intercollegiate match
games, not exceeding four days in a session, may be granted to the
baseball team and the Football team. Before a team can leave
college to play a match game, the following conditions must be
complied with:
I. All debta which the Athletic Association may have pre-
riously incurred musi have been [>;ii«l in full.
'■ 'I'Im- Athletic Association musi have in ils treasury enough
'ji-Ii t'» pay the estimated necessary expenses of Hie trip, Guaran-

Randolph-Macon College. 61
Expenses
The authorities of the College encourage the practice of economy
on the part of its students, and we hope their parents and guar-
dians, as well as the students themselves, will co-operate with us
in this matter. However, the expenses of students vary according
to their habits and inclinations.
Below is given an estimated cost per student for a collegiate
term. The fees for a session are twice these amounts.
Fees
The Tuition Fee of $37.50 is intended to cover the cost of
tuition, regardless of the number of classes or schools taken by
the student.
The College Fee of $10.00 is a contribution to the general
expense of maintenance and also entitles a student to free use of
the libraries and reading rooms.
The Medical Fee of $2.50 includes unlimited professional
services of the College physician, and use of the hospital and its
equipments, but does not include medicines, nurses' attention and
other incidentals.
Special Fees
The Physical Culture Fee of $2.50 is charged only to those
who take the course of this department, or desire the use of the
gymnasium.
The Chemical Laboratory Fee of $5.00 is charged only to
those who are students in the Chemical Department, and is for
the purpose of covering the cost of water, gas, chemicals, etc.,
actually consumed in its laboratories.
The Biological Laboratory Fee of $3.00 or $5.00 is charged
only to those who are students in the Biological Department, for
the extra expense of its laboratories.
The Physical Laboratory Fee of $5.00 is charged only to
those who are students in the Physics Department, for the extra
expense of its laboratories.
A Damage Fee of $1.25 per term will be charged each student,
said fee to be returnable in the early summer, after deducting the
62 Eandolph-Macon College.
pro rata share of damage done the property of the College during
the session.
Dormitories
Cottage System. — There are four frame cottages conveniently
grouped in the northeast corner of the campus. Each cottage is
two stories high, with four rooms on a floor. The rooms have
two large windows, facing in different directions, thus insur-
ing plenty of sunlight and fresh air. The College furnishes only a
skeleton wardrobe to each room. A term rental of $4.50 per
student will be charged for these rooms, two in a room, or $6.00 per
student, one in a room. We reserve the right, however, to place a
room-mate at any time with a student occupying a room by himself.
A bed, bureau, wash-stand, table, chairs, stove, and a student's
lamp is all that is needed to furnish a room in these buildings.
Branch Memorial Dormitory. — This handsome building is a
recent gift of Mr. John P. Branch, of Eichmond, Va., in memory
of his late wife, Mary Louisa Merritt Kerr Branch.
This Dormitory is shaped like an E, without the middle prong.
Though appearing to be one large building, in reality it is three
separate buildings of practically the same size and plan, having
no inside communication with each other. In this way long cor-
ridors have been eliminated, and the rooms are grouped around
the entrance, thus insuring its occupants against the noise and
tramp incident to long corridors and large buildings.
Each room has a large closet, the double rooms having two,
and every eight rooms have a separate lavatory, with stationary
wash-stands, shower bath, etc. The building is heated by steam
and Lighted by gas or electricity, for which there is no extra charge.
A term rental of $12.50 per student will be charged for one
of these double rooms — two in a room, or a single room for $17.50
one (only) in a room.
An iron bed, bureau, table, chairs and a drop lamp is all that
i- necessary to furnish a room in this building, and the same can
ired at reasonable coat from old students, or from merchants
in the town.
tudenl occupying a double room alone will be charged Full
rent for rc< tn, and we reserve the righl to place b roommate with
ime.
Randolph-Macon College. 63
A deposit of fifty cents will be required for each key furnished;
which amount will be refunded upon return of key.
No sub-letting of rooms in part or whole will be allowed at any
time.
Students desiring to change quarters must secure permission to
do so from the Secretary and Treasurer.
Rooms are awarded for a full session, and not for a term.
To engage a room in advance for the next session, it is necessary
for each student to make a deposit of $5.00, which will be credited
on the first payment of rent at the opening of the session. If a
student fails to attend College and occupy the room engaged, he
will forfeit his deposit. Failure to have this amount in the hands
of the Secretary and Treasurer by July 15th, will be sufficient
evidence that the room engaged is not desired, and the reservation
will be immediately cancelled.
Miscellaneous Information
Laundry can be secured at $4.50 to $6.00 per term from washer-
women or from the steam laundry, near the campus.
Furnished rooms may be engaged in the town at $18.00 to $27.00
per term.
Board may be obtained in approved private families at $50.00
to $75.00 per term.

64: Eandolph-Macon College.
Terms of Payment
All college fees and room rents are due the first of each term
and are required strictly in advance. No refunding or deduction
in these fees will be made except in the tuition fee, and then only
when a student is disqualified for work by severe illness for more
than a half term.
When two or more students from one family attend any of the
Eandolph-Macon institutions the same term, a discount of ten
per cent on the tuition fee will be allowed to each.
Damages
"We require a contingent fee, from which all damages to college
property can be paid, but any student who may commit damage
to any property of the College is expected to report the same to
the Secretary and Treasurer and pay the cost of repairs. In the
case of unreported damages, the cost of repairs will be paid out of
this fund.
Privileged Students
All students preparing for the ministry are exempt from tuition
fee. Such students are required to bring the recommendation from
their preacher in charge and from the Local Board of Education
or Quarterly Conference of the pastoral charge to which they
belong, and to give conditional bonds for the payment of their
tuition fee, which bond becomes null and void upon their devoting
ten consecutive years to the work of the ministry of any evangelical
church after completing their education.
The sons of itinerant ministers of the Virginia and Baltimore
Conferences of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, are also
educated without charge for tuition.

worthy applicant, preference being given to one from Pittsylvania
county, Va.
The E. S. Paulett Ministerial Aid Fund is loanable on the
same terms as the Anderson Fund.
The Richie Vaughan Loan and Aid Fund. — This fund, con-
sisting of $10,000, was established through the liberality of Mrs.
Emma Lee Vaughan, in memory of her son, Richie Vaughan, of
Hanover county, and an old student of the College. The annual
income of the fund is to be used in scholarships and loans, for the
benefit of students who may need such assistance, preference being
given to young men of Hanover county. The Vaughan Scholar-
ship aids the recipient annually to the amount of his tuition fees —
that is, seventy-five dollars. Frequently a fractional part of a
scholarship is awarded. When loans are made, the borrower gives
a bond satisfactorily indorsed, bearing interest from date.
The Thomas C. and Ella Williams Scholarship Fund. —
This fund consists of $10,000, $5,000 being given by Mrs. Ella
Williams in memory of her husband, Mr. Thomas C. Williams,
and the other $5,000 by her children, in memory of their mother.
The interest of this money is to be used in scholarships.
The Kindred Scholarship Fund. — This fund consists of an
annuity of $300.00 to be awarded to a worthy student, preferably
from Franklin county, Va. The recipient of this scholarship is to
be nominated by the donor, Dr. J. J. Kindred, an alumnus of
R. M. C, and now of New York.
66 Randolph-Macon College.
All applicants for scholarships and loans must be satisfactorily
certified :
1. As needing the benefit, on account of want of means.
2. As fitted and prepared for the regular College course.
3. As studious young men, of good moral character and habits.
Applications for scholarships and loans should be made as early
as practicable and should be addressed to Wm. S. Brown, Secretary
and Treasurer, E. M. College, for approval by Executive Commit-
tee having such matters in charge.
Very considerable additions have in latter years been made to
the endowment funds of the College, enabling us to offer increased
facilities to the young men who are seeking to prepare themselves
for useful and successful lives. Contributions to this fund are
investments which will yield rich returns in the benefits conferred
on the youth of our own generation and of those who shall come
after, and through them on Church and State. It is hoped that
those who contemplate such benefactions will embrace the present
occasion, when special effort is being made to increase the endow-
ment, and when their example will encourage and stimulate others,
and thus multiply the gift. Correspondence upon this subject is
solicited by the President.
We would also call the attention of those who desire, by deed
of gift or legacy, to advance the cause of Christian education, to
the advisability of placing their contributions with an institution
of established character and permanent and extended field of use-
fulness. Every addition to its attractions makes preceding gifts
more valuable, and the new contribution is in turn more useful
because of the foundation laid by previous benefactions. There
is no danger that, from insufficient support, the donation may fail
to accomplish its beneficent purposes.
POSH of LEGACY. — "I give and bequeath to the Trustees of
Randolph-Macon College, at Ashland, Va., the sum of
dollars, for the benefit of said Institution."
Deedfl of gifti should be made to "The Trustees of Randolph-
liacon ( iollege," and attested as similar deeds of gift in other cases.
Application! for rooms, or for further information should be
■ddroaied to Mi;. Wm. S. BROWN, Secretary and Treasurer, Ash-
Land, Va.

The Randolph -Macon System
The Randolph-Macon System of Colleges and Academies
comprises now five members, offering secondary and collegiate
instruction to both sexes, but in separate institutions. Those for
young men and boys are : ( 1 ) Eandolph-Macon College, at Ashland,
Va., chartered in 1830; (2) Eandolph-Macon Academy, at Bedford
City, Va., established in 1890; (3) Randolph-Macon Academy, at
Front Royal, Va., established in 1892. Those for young women
and girls are: Randolph-Macon Woman's College, at Lynchburg,
Va., established in 1893; and Randolph-Macon Institute, Danville,
Va., admitted 1897.
These five institutions are owned by one chartered, self-per-
petuating Board of Trustees, to which public-spirited men and
women have entrusted large means for the purpose of providing
facilities for the education of young men and women under
Christian influences.
The organization of these separate institutions into one system
is designed to secure certain definite advantages.
Time Saving
First, The close correlation of the courses of the Academies
with those of Randolph-Macon College and of the Institute with
those of the Woman's College should result in a distinct saving of
time, and hence of expense, to the student. School and college
working in thorough harmony with each other, belonging indeed
to one Board and under the supervision of one general officer,
should more certainly make their work continuous and apply labor
with less waste than where separate ends and ideals are proposed
and independent courses are offered.
Economy and Permanence
Secondly, The combination of resources resulting from the
ownership of the five institutions by one Board secures abundant
financial facilities, commanding the best prices and largest dis-
counts. The responsibility of the Board as a chartered corpora-
72 Appendix.
tion being undoubted, and the permanence of its general work
being assured, confidence follows all its undertakings, and strength
is given each institution. In educational work it is especially
desirable that parents and students be assured of the permanence
of the institutions which they are invited to patronize, and whose
influence may become important to them.
Opportunity for Selecting Teachers
Thirdly, For the preceding reasons and others which might be
named, positions in the System are specially attractive, and choice
teachers are at all times available for the corps of instructors.
In most cases of teachers selected for the Academies, those
chosen have been for years under the instruction of our own Col-
lege faculties, and are known to us personally and intimately.
Testimonials are proverbially of little worth, but constant and
long-continued contact with the developing student, enables one to
select with confidence the capable teacher.
Experienced Supervision
Fourthly, Experienced supervision is secured in having a Board
in charge that has conducted such work for seventy-five years, and
from the continuous counsel and supervision of the Chancellor of
the System, and his special services for the special need of any
institution.
These advantages of correlation aimed at, and to a degree at
least realized in the Randolph-Macon System, are added to the
individual excellences of the several institutions as presented in
their respective catalogues.
The System in 1907-1908 employed about one hundred officers
and teachers, and enrolled over a thousand students.
Randolph -Macon Woman's College,

This college is classed by the U. S. Commissioner of Education
as one of the fifteen colleges for women in the United States
entitled a rank in "Division A." It has been accorded "the highest
registration of any of the women's colleges" by the Education
Department of the State of New York.
Full department of Physical Training with three instructors,
well equipped gymnasium, tennis and basket-ball courts, boat-
house with row boats, canoes, etc., and four-mile boating beach;
fifty acres of campus with two miles of prepared walks.

iences to accommodate four hundred students. Faculty of forty-
nine officers and teachers. Four laboratories with superior equip-
ment.

College Park, Lynchburg, Va.
Randolph-Macon Institute,
Danville, Va.
The Institute offers the best advantages to a limited number.
The buildings are equipped with modern comforts and conven-
iences.
An ideal home school. The boarding department has accom-
modations for only a small number of students, and these are con-
stantly associated with the fifteen members of the faculty living in
the building.
The attendance has steadily grown. During 1905-6, one hun-
dred and seventeen students were enrolled; during 1906-7, one
hundred and thirty-seven; during 1907-8, one hundred and eighty-
seven.
The course of study meets fully the maximum college entrance
requirements, and in addition offers classes that allow those young
ladies, not wishing to go to college, to get a well-rounded education.
The Faculty is made up of experienced teachers, full graduates
of the best colleges and universities.
Kates are low for the advantages offered.
